JACOB SHARP'S TRIAL.
The First Day Develops Sensation-Sharp's
Attempt to Bribe an Engrossing Clerk.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK, June lin the trial Of Jacob
Sharp for bribery, to-day, lawyers Francis M.
Stetson and Geo. Bliss testified to Sharp's legal
maneuvers to get the Broadway franchise
Daniel Conover, old friend of Sharps, was
oblIg ed, by writ OF attachment. to appear a
witness He testified to Sharp's long g-standing
ambition to secure q road on Broadway. The
defense objected but the court ruled that it was
admissible to show a motive for the alleged
bribery of the aldermen.
The sensation of the day then came In the
shape of an offer by Mr. Nicoll to prove by the
next witness, w. S. Pottle, that when the wit
was engrossing clerk of the State Assem-
bly,, in 1883. Sharp tried to bribe him to insert
the words Broadway and Fifth avenue" in the
general railroad act passed that year.
The defense made most strenuous effort to
have the evidence ruled out and a long argu-
ment ensued. Judge Barrett finally admitted
the evidence as showing the intent and motive
Of Sharp to secure his ends by bribesy. Pottle
testified that while the bill was in his hands for
engrossing Sharp sent for him. He went TO
Sharps room at the DeiavRn House Sharp told
him he wanted the words broadway and Fifth
avenue" inserted in the bill, and il it could be
done he would go down stairs and deposit IS, 900
with the hotel clerk, Mr.. Baldwin Pottle re-
fused to insert the words Sharp then said:
"Well, you don't seem to take that proposition
very kindly, and l will make you another. Ii
you will go and bring me the original copy of the
bill will give you $1,000" The witness re-
pned tnat ne couio not entertain tne
proposition. On cross examination by
Mr. Stickney, Pottle admitted that
the words admitted would be detected almost
Immediately He was very severely handled by
Mr.. Stickney, and could not explain why. a
matter of course, he did not expose the Legisa-
ture the attempt to bribe him. Pottle is now
employed in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing at Washington. MIR. Nicoll said he
learned of Pottles story through Dir. Lockwood,
a who was summoned a Juror in this
case. but was challenged. The incident caused
much excitement in court
Lewis May, one of the incorporators of the
Broadway road, also testified that he signed for
100 shares of the stock, but paid nothing on
them and never received them, but that Sharp
paid him $4,000 to surrender the privilege of
purchase of the shares
j. II. Selms and G. F. Palmeter, also incor-
porators. gave similar testimony
The court then adjourned until tomorrow.

NEWSPAPER BALLO0NING.
Ascension of the Balloon Owned by the New
York World and st. Louis Post Dispatch.

ST. LOUIS. June 1.-THE World aud Post
Dispatch balloon was cut loose at 4:26 p. NJ. to
day at tSportsmans Park and after skimming just
the roofs of the very small houses in the vi
cinity. made a dip for the earth and then caper
for n grove of tall trees, but two bags of ballast
being hastily sprinkled out, the monster lunged
into the upper space and in few minutes
peared as a resplendent speck among the feecy
clouds, racing towards the East. A vast
course of people gathered at the park long before
noon and patiently awaited the ascension. The
balloon was filled with gas from a city main re-
curing 140 900 cubic feet distend its folds to
the satisfaction of the aeronaut and yet falling
5000 feet short of full desire. In consequence,
much ballast had to be left out In emptying
this. A. r. Moore the aeronaut, was severely in
iured, two fingers of his left hand being badly
lacerated In the are four men-A. e. Moore.

Although lacking sand ballast, there is sufficient
temporary weight in freight. such as so pounds
of water. 100 pounds OF provisions, heavy cloth
ing. Photographic and Observers instruments
Twenty carrier pigeons from different stations
in Missouri were also taken. ten of which will
return with messages this evening, and the 9th
will be liberated during the day tomorrow
Professor Hazen says the current of air, to
altitude of 900 feet, is northeast, and at 900
feet it is almost directly east. 1t is within the
power of the aeronant to ascend or descend to
these currents as he desires. and thereby choose
his course. They will avoid the great lakes. and
by to morrow evening expect to land IN MasSa-
chusetts or New Hampshire.

ANDOYER THEOLOGY.
Prof. Smith Declared Guilty of Heterodoxy-
Fight To Be Carried to the Supreme Court.

, ANDovER Mass, June 1.-THE board of Wis
itors of Andover Theological Seminary to-day
made public their decision in the cases of Prof.
Egberr G. Smith and his adherents in the
faculty of the seminary, who we're tried some
months ago with n view to their removal from
Office for teaching doctrines contrary to those
laid down By the founders of the seminary.
Their chief points of offense were in denying
the plenAry inspiration of the entire Bible and
holding that there is probation for the sin
ner after DEATH They find Professor Smi tn
guilty, but fail to sustain the iudict-
ment against the others, viz: Professors
William }. Tucker, John w. Churchill, George
Harris and Edwin III. Smith. Rev. Mr. Eustis,
of the board, declined to vote on the cases. as ne
was not present at the final hearing, and Prof.
Seelye was not present, that the finding is
that Of only two men. The Office Of Professor
smith Is declared vacant. The board say it is
not a question whether Professor Smiths beliefs
are in accord with present beliefs. but whether
they are contrary to the creed laid down by the
founders of the seminary. This creed IS the
test.
Professor Smith. when seen by Associated
Press reporter declined to talk at length, but
said this was not the end of the matter. His
acquitted associates say the case will be carried
To the supreme Court; that, meantime, as the
trustees are with them and superior TO the
visitors, Professor Smith will continue to teach
in the seminary just heretofore. They will
stand by Professor Smith. whatever happens
